I just found out that the owner of my favorite neighborhood store Sahar, at Division & Wood, wants to transfer ownership to his brother (who works there all the time -- the owner doesn't). The brother who wants to buy it can't get the liquor license transferred because of the moratorium. He has a petition that requires 200 signatures, but it can only be signed by people who live within 500 feet of the store. I live 2 blocks away, but I can't sign it because I dont live within 500 feet of the store. If the guy can't get his liquor license, he'll go out of business, and the store that's been there for years will be gone. It's so sad and so unfair!Interior Mindedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02268558536337574346noreply@blogger.com
